well, when i went to public school in Cleveland (way back when) we did
get all Christian and all Jewish holidays off.  it also seems to me
that York University (here in Toronto) has a policy where provision
has to be made by the professors either not to test material which
was delivered to the class on Jewish holidays or to provide copies
of the material to students who did not attend the class for such
religious reasons.

so, in my experience, this is perfectly plausible.

i also think it's a good idea.
